GA anti-icing training module released

The National Air Transportation Association’s (NATA) Safety 1st has released an online De/Anti-icing Training Module designed specifically for the general aviation industry.

Included in the training are de/anti-icing best practices and procedures, videos and photos to help shape understanding, resources such as current FAA holdover tables, quizzes throughout to reinforce major concepts and a final exam to ensure comprehension.

Covered in the de/anti-icing training module is:

A review of the crucial reasons for de-icing and the effects of icing on aircraft flight.

De-icing and Anti-icing Fluids: covers the different types of fluids, their characteristics and their primary usage.

De-icing and Anti-icing Application: covers specifics on when and how to apply the different fluid types.

De-icing Procedures: discusses techniques to de-ice aircraft effectively and best practices to follow.

Anti-icing Fluid Application: stresses what to do and what NOT to do when applying anti-icing fluids.

Final Preparations For Departure: covers your responsibilities as well as what to expect from the flight crew after de/anti-icing and prior to aircraft departure.

“NATA’s Safety 1st developed this online de/anti-icing module in response to our members who have asked for general aviation specific training to fulfill their winter weather needs,” said NATA Director of Safety and Training Amy Koranda. “In the past, our members have turned to de/anti-icing training suited for the airlines and it just doesn’t fit the bill for our industry.”

Pricing for the online training is based on a sliding scale. For a limited time, NATA is offering a special discount on orders placed before Nov. 16.
